[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1369558, member: 78569"] I used an old flat backed savage receiver as well for my 6.5 SAUM. It was a LA so I changed out the baffle on the bolt to the ones used for .223's. It effectively made it a short action...or a medium action. I used the WSM center feed mag box and set it in the stock to align with the shorter bolt throw. Put an Xcaliber barrel from Apache Gun Works on and it shoots great. I trued the action, bolt head and retimed it along with the installing a lift kit. It feels as great is it shoots. [/QUOTE]
